Jin Hyuk Byun of Del Mar had pleaded guilty Oct. 31 in Vista Superior Court to a hit and run that caused a death.

Byun has been jailed since two days after the July 6 crash that killed Angel Bojorquez, 18. The Escondido man was bicycling home from his job at an Albertsons in Del Mar when he was struck.

Bojorquez, who was wearing a reflective vest, was riding north on Via de la Valle toward Paseo Delicias when he was hit about 1 a.m. About an hour later, a security guard with a private company found shoes in the street and then found Angel Bojorquez’s body nearby, according to testimony during Byun’s pretrial hearing.

Investigators questioned Byun after a neighbor saw news coverage of the fatal crash and then told authorities he had spotted damage to Byun’s black 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche.

Authorities said evidence showed that Byun had pulled over around the corner from the crash, pulled damaged rubber from a tire rim of his pickup, then drove five miles home on the tire-less wheel.
